After a series of downpours the weather appears to have stabilized. We have been living off the generosity of the tired mage of a tower on the Mayoi coast. The kindly mage had moved to this lonely spot to be free of the hustle and bustle of town, but her services were in such high demand, warriors from across the land travel to this spot to seek advice and replenish their stock of the valuable platinum scarabs that she sells. Sunflash and myself help around the tower to earn our keep, sorting masses of scrolls and magical components, and luring the golems away from the tower when they draw too near. After a discussion about our journey, the mage offered us an idea she had been contemplating for some time. For many years she has wanted to build a craft to sail on the open waters of the sea, but had never had a reason or the time for the construction of such a project. In light of our mission of exploration she thought it appropriate to bestow her vision to aid our travels. Today we start construction on the beach nearby the tower. Historically this spot I have been told, is known as the Point of Despair. This is not exactly encouraging, seeing as this is also our thirteenth stop on our journey. But who gives thought to silly superstitions anyway?
